Ecoin.sg review: hair cut - poor service and cheating consumers' money 20

Yes, this shop is very unethical. Pressures people to buy packages even though we repeatedly insist that we are not interested. More interested in selling packages than cutting your hair. Rude Service.
If you don't buy the packages, then they give black face and do a lousy job.

totally agree, i believe that this hard sell sale method are being used in all their outlet as i encounter the same issue at marine parade outlet
Pressures people to buy packages even though we repeatedly insist that we are not interested.
there are more interested in selling packages than cutting your hair.
that their company company direction as their supervisor are the one who assist in pressuring .

dont not be tempted by the cheap price, it a trap to lure you in .
i sincerely hope that this will help serve a warning to all singaporean, please beware of the ecoin.sg salon .

This morning I went for a hair cut at Ecoin.sg Bendemeer Branch.
After cutting, hairdresser ask me to join as a member at $40 so each time go for cutting I only need to pay S3/-. I told her one month cut once is not worth joining, then she said I need to pay $10/-.

Why is there a 100% increase ... CNY, refuse to take up membership...

Thanks

I've had rather good experience at TPY ecoin actually. My Father is a member there and he goes regularly for treatment and haircut, and they charge him the same amount every time. I have also had experience colouring my hair at the same salon, and the hairdresser is actually very friendly and will keep up a conversation. I was a bit skeptical at first after reading all the negative feedback, but my father assured me that it's okay, as he has had good experience there. I Guess it all depends on your hairdresser. I'm also going back there to dye my hair again soon!

Agree with few of the outlets doing the forcing of buuing package.. But u can try the outlet at Clementi, their service are good especially the manager name Jimmy.. He is friendly and he do not force ppl to sign package. And he can gives good advise in styling n gives a nice perm and hair cut.

I got attracted by $19 cold perm today at Bugis outlet, was told $39, lured into scalp treatment by stylist saying perm can be free if do treatment. Where got free...$188+39, cashier refuse to lower total price. So yeah, paid $200+ in the end. Btw, looks like they more enthusiastic with treatment. With shoulder massage. Ok not bad for that, but tactics on pricing still bad. Btw I still need to go back to redo perm. I think perming time too short, not properly curled. Still say due to my hair being thin. Nonsense.

The hair stylist use perm lotion to wipe off the color stain on my forehead resulting to melt my hair away. I was told to come back for treatment. What was the point, my image had been tarnish. Despite that offer, I went back for treatment as claimed by them. They did unwillingly pulling my hair. After the hair stylist named Kelly who damage my hair, they refused to honour their words to provided correction words caused by their ex staff. The salon manager AnQi asked me to look for Kelly who had left the salon which is ridiculous. Now I left with unused package that I had reservations to use.

The male hair stylist with tattoo eyebrows did a lousy hair cut. My fringe was cut short on the side resulting a big hole. When you lift up the hair, there were a lot of uneven cuts. Please be careful of this Malaysian hair stylist at Bugis branch. When you feedback to him, he give you very bad attitude. Ask you to use your other side of the hair to cover. What kind of service is this?

Ecoin staff only wants to make money. I think they are getting a big portion of what we are paying. That's why they push and push. If you said I will think about it, they will said if you come back the next time, you wouldn't get this price any more. I'll just said then we talk about it again the next time. Normally, they like to give you free hair cut for to sell their product.

Besides, they are also very rude when you don't buy their product. Sometimes, I think the push the product over the limit. If you have good product, customer will Automatic come back . If Customer don't want you product, that's no point pushing. Customer have the right to say no to any product in the market.

I went to several e-coin branch and they are all the same. I really hope that e-coin management can do sometime on this, Else I will not top-up my credit any more upon my credit finished.

Believe me, I am usually very lenient when it comes to haircuts and I usually accept haircuts despite how badly some of them turn out. But this place was nothing short of terrible.

It seemed decent at first. The barber proceeded to ask me what style of cut I want, and I gave a series of simple requirements – trim fringe, cut slope at the back, etc. None of which I believe are too complicated to comprehend.

Throughout the course of the haircut, the barber was very evidently distracted by many of things around her, constantly shouting at fellow colleagues, and even towards some customers who walked in without knowing that they were supposed to wait outside the shop first. Her lack of focus undeniably led to a very poor quality of work. Despite having told her specifically for a slope, she did the exact opposite, blissfully cutting away my hair until the end when I realised there was no slope (I am a school student and the school requirements need us to have a sloped back – this is not out of vanity or whatsoever). I hence asked her to cut a slope at the back, to which she hesitated and replied "这样剪会很难看" which roughly translates to 'cutting this way would be ugly', since she had already cut off a significant proportion of my hair at the back and a slope would look off-place. I just told her it was okay and to just proceed cutting.

At the end it turned out quite awful. There was barely any slope at the back but I grudgingly accepted it. The fringe and sides appeared to be in a very bowl-cut manner which felt rather undesirable, but I took it anyways as she did tell me it would be ugly.

Then came the cleaning after the haircut. All she did was wipe my neck once, then told me to pay. I literally left the shop with hair in my face and eyes. Asked for a tissue to wipe my face but she claimed they didn't have any in the shop.

Absolutely horrendous. Do not be lured in by the cheap prices. I'd much rather spend more on a decent haircut then this $5 of disappointment and poor service.

FYI – this was at the Jurong West St 51 (Block 504) branch.

Yesterday I visited the branch at Toa Payoh.
The so call hair dresser said I have applied jell to my hair
And refuse to cut my hair.
I am a member for two years and this is the first time I heard of this.
What type of service we are getting ?
Waste of my time getting there.

I also had very very bad experience. Every time they try to suck your money in Bedok branch. I heard they are expecting $8000 sales to get good commission. Just pay for haircut is good. Others is a no no.

I first went there because I heard they employ yellow ribbon. It turned up to be just an advertisement to attract. Now all Chinese and everyone is so so so pushy for packages

Jurong west salon - POOR Response and do not listen what customers telling, they cut hair as they like.
Even after customer waiting at salon also, they never respond. They go for smoking and make late.
Once you become member, they will not respond proper manner.

We had been using their service with the kids for a while with just basic cutting.

Upon review if the charging, hair wash was charged x 2 without our knowledge.

The fact is the mommy is always with the girls when cutting and there is no reason we don't know if washing is being done.

The manager from toa payoh said it is "impossible" for them to make a mistake.long story story, these Chinese ppl was hard to understand firstly and they are good at denying to the roof! They won't expose their management and always thats company policy. Spoke to hotline. Same thing. Only when I threatened to call police for fraud... Then they said they will reach management and call us back.

Had my haircut today. My hair was below shoulder level. .Requested the female stylist to cut layer for me. Whoah cut my hair in les than 5 mins, without cutting it by sections. My hair layer ended up so ugly and uneven. Horrible service. Furthermore , can argue with the customer. Agreed with me not pay such horrible service, but you can put back my hair? Of course not? In US will you will get sued. Please go for training!
